The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement also relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to 133,785,596 shares of Class A Common Stock, including (i) 28,356,906 shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (as defined in the Prospectus) as Merger Consideration (as defined in the Prospectus), (ii) 13,358,824 Conversion Shares (as defined in the Prospectus), (iii) 9,360,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Private Warrants, (iv) 13,235,412 Executive Shares (as defined in the Prospectus), (v) up to 19,474,454 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of 19,474,454 warrants originally issued in a private placement to Magna International Inc. in connection with entering into a cooperation agreement, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Class A Common Stock (the “Magna Warrants”), and (vi) 50,000,000 PIPE Shares (as defined in the Prospectus).

Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FSR”. On August 10, 2021, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $18.30. Our Public Warrants were formerly listed on the NYSE under the symbol “FSR WS.” On April 19, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding Public Warrants and the NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with respect to the Public Warrants; the formal delisting of the Public Warrants became effective ten days thereafter.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and variations thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements about:

•

our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) on the NYSE;

•

our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined below), which may be affected by, among other things, competition and our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;

•

our ability to enter into binding contracts with OEMs or tier-one suppliers in order to execute on our business plan;

•

our ability to execute our business model, including market acceptance of our planned products and services;

•

our expansion plans and opportunities;

•

our expectations regarding future expenditures;

•

our ability to raise capital in the future;

•

our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;

•

the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors;

•

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

•

the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;

•

the possibility that COVID-19 may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial position and cash flows; and

•

other factors described in this report, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 17, 2021, as supplemented by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and filed with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made by us in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

1. Overview of the Company

Fisker Inc. (“Fisker” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 13, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Spartan”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Spartan completed its Initial Public Offering in August 2018. On October 29, 2020, Spartan’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Fisker Holdings Inc. (f/k/a Fisker Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Fisker”), with Fisker Holdings Inc. surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spartan (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, Spartan changed its name to Fisker Inc.

Legacy Fisker was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2016. In connection with its formation, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements with the Company’s founders, whereby the founders contributed certain intellectual property (primarily trademarks) and interests in Platinum IPR LLC. Platinum IPR LLC was an entity solely owned by the Company’s founders, which held Fisker trademarks registered in a variety of jurisdictions around the world. The founders’ transfer of its interest in Platinum IPR LLC and the transfer of trademarks was accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control. The carrying amount of the transferred assets is recorded based on the prior carrying value, which was de minimis.

The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “FSR”. The Company’s warrants previously traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FSR WS” and on April 19, 2021, the NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with respect to the warrants; the formal delisting of the warrants became effective ten days thereafter (refer to Note 8 for further information).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of changes in temporary equity and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as other information disclosed in the accompanying notes, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021.

Comprehensive loss is not separately presented as the amounts are equal to net loss for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future years or interim periods.

Reverse Recapitalization

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Spartan was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. The Business Combination was accounted as the equivalent of Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Fisker and its wholly owned subsidiaries “as if” Legacy Fisker is the predecessor to the Company. The shares and net loss per common share, prior to the Business Combination, have been adjusted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of filing this report. Since inception, the Company has incurred significant accumulated losses of approximately $371 million. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $962 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. Proceeds from the Business Combination and exercised public warrants and options provide the Company the liquidity and capital resources to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from issuance.

Supplier Risk

The Company continued nomination of suppliers with an accelerated phase during the quarter for engineering, development, testing, tooling and production of components for serial production of its vehicles. These supplier contracts do not represent unconditional purchase obligations with take-or-pay or specified minimum quantities provisions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

There are transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As of June 30, 2021, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the full value of its U.S. and state net deferred tax assets because the Company believes the recoverability of the tax assets is not more likely than not as of June 30, 2021.

Derivative Liability

The Company accounts for its public and private warrants as a derivative liability initially measured at its fair values and remeasured in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. When the warrants are exercised, the corresponding derivative liability is de-recognized at the underlying fair value of the Class A common stock that is issued to the warrant holder less any cash paid in accordance with the warrant agreement. Upon either cash or cashless exercise, the derecognized derivative liability results in an increase in additional paid in capital equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Class A common stock and its par value. A cashless exercise results in the warrant holder surrendering Class A common stock equal to the stated warrant exercise price based on the contractual terms in the warrant agreement that govern the cashless conversion.

Equity Awards

The grant date for an option or stock award is established when the grantee has a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the option or award, the award is authorized, including all the necessary approvals unless approval is essentially a formality or perfunctory, and the grantee begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, underlying changes in the price of the Company’s Class A common shares. An award or option is authorized on the date that all approval requirements are completed (e.g., action by the compensation committee approving the award and the number of options, restricted shares or other equity instruments to be issued to individual employees).

Leases

Current portion of the Company’s lease liability is based on lease payments due within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Variable lease payments are included in lease payments when the contingency upon which the payment is dependent is resolved.

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated using the two-class method under which earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities. Undistributed net losses are allocated entirely to common shareholders since the participating security has no contractual obligation to share in the losses. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of stock-based compensation awards and warrants to purchase common stock (using the treasury stock method).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. This guidance had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption in 2021.

In September 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. The ASU amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use if-converted method for all convertible instruments and an update for instruments that can be settled in either cash or shares. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2020-06 should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. We early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective on January 1, 2021 applying the modified retrospective method. Since the Company does not have any financial instruments as of January 1, 2021 within the scope of ASU 2020-06, early adoption had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. This ASU also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for non-public companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination and Recapitalization

On October 29, 2020, the Company consummated (the “Closing”) the Business Combination with Legacy Fisker pursuant to the business combination agreement between Legacy Fisker and Spartan (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to ASC 805, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Legacy Fisker was deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company was treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Spartan were stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and are consolidated with Legacy Fisker’s financial statements on the date of the Closing. The shares and net income (loss) per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been adjusted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Business Combination, Spartan entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), whereby pursuant to which it issued 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500.0 million (the “PIPE Financing”), which closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination and proceeds from the PIPE Financing was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of 179,192,713 shares of common stock valued at $10.00 per share. The common stock consideration consists of (1) 46,838,585 shares of Legacy Fisker Class A common stock, including shares issuable in respect of vested equity awards of the Legacy Fisker and shares issued in respect of the Bridge notes and Convertible Equity Security, plus (2) 132,354,128 shares of Legacy Fisker Class B common stock.

Conversion of Notes and Preferred Stock upon Recapitalization

Upon the formation of Legacy Fisker in September 2016, HF Holdco LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and founder, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and founder, advanced the Company $250,000 in the form of a demand note. In May 2020, in satisfaction of the advances made by HF Holdco LLC, the Company issued a bridge note payable to HF Holdco LLC with the principal sum of $250,000 and convertible into Class A Common Stock upon completion of the Business Combination and is no longer outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

From July 2019 to September 2020, the Company entered into bridge note agreements with investors. Certain holders of the bridge notes were issued option agreements providing the holder with a non-binding right to receive a base model Fisker Ocean SUV within the first 12 months of production, subject to certain terms and conditions. The proceeds received from these holders were allocated to the bridge notes and option agreements on a relative fair value basis, resulting in an initial discount to the bridge notes.

The automatic exchange feature is the predominant settlement feature and the change of control feature within the bridge notes are embedded contingent put options that, collectively, are required to be bifurcated from the debt host and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings (see Note 4). After bifurcation of the embedded derivative, the initial carrying value of the bridge notes are accreted to their stated principal value over the contractual term of the bridge notes, using the effective interest method. The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million of accretion of debt discount from the issuance dates of the bridge notes through March 31, 2020, classified as Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The embedded derivative was eliminated upon the conversion of the bridge notes payable at the close of the Business Combination.

In June 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the note agreements with holders of the Company’s outstanding bridge notes to provide for amendments to the definition of the Next Equity Financing such that in the event of a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC”) Transaction, as defined, prior to repayment or conversion in full of the note, immediately prior to such SPAC Transaction, the outstanding principal and any accrued

but unpaid interest under the bridge notes would automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (or, at the election of the Company, directly into proceeds paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock in connection with such SPAC Transaction) at a price per share that is 75% of the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such SPAC Transaction. Upon the Closing, the conversion feature upon a business combination was triggered for the bridge notes causing a conversion of the $10.0 million outstanding principal amount of these bridge notes at a specified price. The noteholders received 1,361,268 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as result of the conversion in connection with the Business Combination.

Prior to the Closing, Fisker had shares of $0.00001 par value Series A, Series B, and Founders Convertible preferred stock outstanding. The shares of Series A and B preferred stock were convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock of Legacy Fisker based on a specified conversion price calculated by dividing the then-original issue price, as adjusted, for such share of preferred stock by the conversion price, as adjusted, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. Shares of Founders preferred stock, classified in equity, were convertible into Class B Common Stock determined by dividing $0.10, as adjusted, for such share of preferred stock by the conversion price, as adjusted, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. Upon the Closing, the outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into common stock of the Company at 2.7162, the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately after the Business Combination, Founders Convertible, Series A (pre-combination), and Series B (pre-combination) converted into 27,162,191 Class A Common Stock, 16,983,241 Class A Common Stock, and 3,765,685 Class A Common Stock, respectively.

4. Fair value measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used for such measurements were as follows (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measured as of June 30, 2021:
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets included in:
Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents	$	957,794	$	—	$	—	$	957,794

Total fair value	$	957,794	$	—	$	—	$	957,794


	Fair Value Measured as of December 31, 2020:
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets included in:
Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents	$	987,728	$	—	$	—	$	987,728

Total fair value	$	987,728	$	—	$	—	$	987,728


Liabilities included in:
Warrants liability	$	90,487	$	—	$	47,615	$	138,102

Total fair value	$	90,487	$	—	$	47,615	$	138,102

The fair value of the Company’s money market funds is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

The carrying amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under Current assets approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company’s derivative liability for its private and public warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The private warrants fair value is determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes it to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the private warrants uses assumptions and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company assess these assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of its private warrants, all of which were exercised in March 2021. The public warrants fair value is determined using its publicly traded prices (Level 1). During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company completed its redemption of all outstanding public warrants (refer to Note 8). Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a non-operating expense. For the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2021, the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability resulted from changes in the fair values of the underlying Class A common shares and its associated volatilities upon exercise in March 2021.

The reconciliation of changes in Level 3 during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:


Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	47,615
Change in fair value		63,526
Cashless exercise of warrants		(111,141	)

Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	—

5. Intangible assets

The Company has the following intangible assets (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2021
	Amortization Period		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Capitalized cost - manufacturing		8 years	$	180,411	$	—	$	180,411

			$	180,411	$	—	$	180,411


	As of December 31, 2020
	Amortization Period		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Capitalized cost - manufacturing		8 years	$	58,041	$	—	$	58,041

			$	58,041	$	—	$	58,041

The Company did not amortize the capitalized cost associated with the warrants vested and exercisable by Magna International, Inc. (“Magna”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 as amortization will commence on a straight-line basis with the start of production for the Fisker Ocean which is expected to occur in 2022. The Company expects to amortize the intangible asset over eight years but will continually assess the reasonableness of the estimated life. Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding the capitalization of costs upon issuance of warrants to Magna. Also, the Company capitalized certain costs associated with manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean and production of parts in 2021, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis beginning with the start of production for the Fisker Ocean over eight years.

6. Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net, consists of the following (in thousands):


	June 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
Machinery and equipment		$	1,094			$	130
Furniture and fixtures			91				67
IT hardware and software			1,104				820

Total customer deposits		$	4,823		$	3,527

8. Warrants

Public and Private Warrants

Upon the Closing, there were 18,400,000 public and 9,360,000 private warrants outstanding to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by Spartan prior to the Business Combination. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, 30 days after the Closing, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Warrants.

On March 19, 2021, the Company announced that it would redeem all of its outstanding warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated August 9, 2018 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), for a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 22, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The Private Placement Warrants were not subject to this redemption. In addition, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Company’s board of directors elected to require that, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, all Public Warrants were to be exercised only on a “cashless basis.” Accordingly, holders could not exercise Public Warrants and receive Common Stock in exchange for payment in cash of the $11.50 per warrant exercise price. Instead, a holder exercising a Public Warrant was deemed to pay the $11.50 per warrant exercise price by the surrender of 0.5046 of a share of Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising warrant holders received 0.4954 of a share of Common Stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise. Any Public Warrants (including Public Warrants that were not included in outstanding units) that remained unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date were delisted, void and no longer exercisable. The Company completed the redemption prior to filing this report. For the unexercised 225,906 Public Warrants outstanding at the Redemption Date, the Company paid $2,259 to redeem the unexercised warrants. There are no Public Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

During March 2021, the 9,360,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock that were originally issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO were exercised by the Company’s former sponsor on a cashless basis for 4,907,329 shares of Common Stock (4,452,671 shares of Common Stock surrendered) and are no longer outstanding.

Since January 1, 2021, the Company has received cash proceeds of $89 million upon the exercise of 7,733,400 Public Warrants immediately prior to the announcement to redeem the Public Warrants.

Public and private warrant exercise activity and underlying Common Stock issued or surrendered for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, is:


	Public warrants			Private warrants			Total
December 31, 2020		18,391,587			9,360,000			27,751,587
Shares issued for cash exercises		(7,733,400	)					(7,733,400	)
Shares issued for cashless exercises		(3,490,935	)		(4,907,329	)		(8,398,264	)
Shares surrendered upon cashless exercise		(3,556,026	)		(4,452,671	)		(8,008,697	)

March 31, 2021		3,611,226			—			3,611,226

Shares issued for cashless exercises		(1,676,856	)					(1,676,856	)

Shares redeemed by Company for cash		(225,906	)					(225,906	)

June 30, 2021		—			—			—

Cashless exercises of public and private warrants increased additional paid-in capital by $24 million and $277 million for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Magna Warrants

On October 29, 2020, the Company granted Magna up to 19,474,454 warrants, each with an exercise price of $0.01, to acquire underlying shares of Class A common stock of Fisker, which represented approximately 6% ownership in Fisker on a fully diluted basis as of the grant date. The right to exercise vested warrants expires on October 29, 2030. The warrants are accounted for as an award issued to non-employees measured on October 29, 2020 with three interrelated performance conditions that are separately evaluated for achievement.

The cost upon achievement of each milestone is capitalized when it is probable that a milestone is met. The cost for awards to nonemployees is recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or services. On June 12, 2021, Fisker Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fisker Inc., entered into a detailed manufacturing agreement with Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KG, a limited liability partnership established and existing under the laws of Austria, an affiliate of Magna, and achieved the second milestone resulting in $58 million non-cash increases of intangible assets and additional paid-in-capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2021, Magna satisfied the first and second milestones and the Company capitalized costs of $116 million as an intangible asset representing the future economic benefit to Fisker, Inc. Magna has 12,969,986 vested and exercisable warrants to acquire underlying Class A common stock of Fisker as of June 30, 2021. The third milestone is start of pre-serial production, which is not probable of being met as of June 30, 2021.

9. Accrued Expenses

A summary of the components of accrued expenses is as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Accrued payroll	$	6,411	$	686
Accrued professional fees		607		468
Accrued other		14		254
Accrued vendor expenses		18,385		—
Accrued legal cost		—		6,000

Total accrued expenses	$	25,417	$	7,408

As of June 30, 2021, accrued expenses include amounts owed to vendors but not yet invoiced in exchange for vendor purchases and research and development services and statutory withholdings for cash payments due to payroll tax agencies related to stock option exercises near the end of June 2021. Vendor purchases and research and development services are invoiced and included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020. Certain estimates of accrued vendor expenses are based on actual costs incurred to date compared to expected total costs.

10. Loss Per Share

Founders Convertible Preferred Stock are participating securities as the Founders Convertible Preferred Stock participates in undistributed earnings on an as-if-converted basis. The Company computes earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic and diluted earnings per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each class of common stock because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock:

11. Stock Based Compensation

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the 2016 Stock Plan renamed the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). All outstanding awards under the 2016 Stock Plan are modified to adopt the terms under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The modifications are administrative in nature and have no effect on the valuation inputs, vesting conditions or equity classification of any of the outstanding original awards immediately before and after the close of the Business Combination. The Plan is a stock-based compensation plan which provides for the grants of options and restricted stock to employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive options (“ISO”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSO”). The Plan added 24,097,751 shares of Class A Common Stock on October 29, 2020 to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan to 47,698,163 shares (subject to adjustments upon changes in capitalization, merger or certain other transactions). Also, upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company established a 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) under which up to 3,213,034 Class A Common Stock may be issued. As of June 30, 2021, no shares have been issued under the ESPP.

Options under the Plan may be granted at prices as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The fair value of the shares is determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grants. Stock options generally have a contractual life of 10 years. Upon exercise, the Company issues new shares.

In 2016 and 2017, the Company’s founders were granted an aggregate of 15,882,711 options which are fully vested and are not related to performance. Options granted to other employees and consultants become vested and are exercisable over a range of up to six years from the date of grant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted employees, who rendered services during the year ended December 31, 2020 and were employees of the Company on the grant date, a restricted stock unit award based in proportion to the service period beginning from the employee’s hire date to the end of 2020. The restricted stock unit awards vested on the grant date which resulted in the release of 36,025 shares of Class A common stock, net of 20,232 shares withheld to pay for statutory withholding taxes, equal to stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million recognized in the three-months ended June 30, 2021. The Company’s founders declined to receive an award related to performance in 2020. In accordance with the Company’s Outside Director Compensation Policy, each outside Board of Directors member received an annual RSU equal to $200,000 granted on June 8, 2021 (the date of the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting) or 15,723 shares of Class A common stock which vests in 25% increments at the end of each calendar quarter.

The following table summarizes option activity under the Plan:


	Shares Available For Grant			Options and restricted stock awards			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Contractual Term (in Years)
Balance as of January 1, 2021		28,974,067			18,724,096			0.69		6.5
Granted		(849,978	)		849,978			16.60
Exercised		—			(901,406	)		0.23
Restricted stock unit awards released		—			(97,059	)		N/A
Forfeited or surrendered for taxes		385,867			(360,313	)		3.39

Balance as of June 30, 2021		28,509,956			18,215,296			1.26		6.1

The fair value of each stock option grant under the Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following range of assumptions:


		Six-months Ended June 30, 2021
Expected term (in years)		6.3
Volatility		90.2% to 99%
Dividend yield		0.0%
Risk-free interest rate		0.63% to 1.22%
Common stock price		$19.28

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires various highly subjective assumptions that represent management’s best estimates of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term, and dividend yield. As the Company’s shares have actively traded for a short period of time subsequent to the Business Combination, volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries.

The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the awards. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future; therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the expected term of the grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of publicly-traded peer companies.

Stock-based compensation expense is as follows (in thousands):


	Three-months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
General and administrative expense	$	444	$	30
Research and development		1,774		22

Total		2,218		52


	Six-months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
General and administrative expense	$	617	$	38
Research and development		2,418		32

Total		3,035		70

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. From time to time however, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.

Inception Lease

February 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Continental 830 Nash LLC and Continental Rosecrans Aviation L.P., as tenants in common (together, “Continental”). Continental is the lessor of the

Company’s corporate headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California (Inception). The Amendment provides for, among other things, (a) an increase in the rentable square feet from approximately 72,000 square feet to approximately 78,500 square feet, (b) a modification to the term of the lease to be 69 months from February 1, 2021, with no option to extend, and (c) an adjustment to the base rental amounts payable by the Company to Continental during the term of the lease. The Company substantially completed its construction of improvements to the property that are owned by Continental in May 2021 at which time the lease commenced. The Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize a lease liability of $17.9 million and right-of-use asset of $18.3 million. We assumed an incremental borrowing rate of 5.25% and a lease term equal to the remaining lease term of 66 months from the commencement of the lease. Contractual lease payments for Inception total $0.9 million for the remainder of 2021, $3.8 million for 2022, and $16 million for 2023 and thereafter.

Foxconn Arrangement

In May 2021, the Company entered into framework agreements with Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) supporting the joint development and manufacturing of project ‘PEAR’ (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution), a project to develop a new electric vehicle. Under the agreements, the Company and Foxconn will jointly invest into Project PEAR, with each company taking proceeds from the successful delivery of the program. The Company will work with Foxconn on a new lightweight platform designated ‘FP28’, leveraging technological expertise from each company to support Project PEAR and potential future vehicles. In support of the work on Project PEAR, the two companies have established a co-located program management office between the U.S. and Taiwan to coordinate design, engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing operations. Following an extensive review of manufacturing sites, the two companies will make significant efforts to develop and execute a manufacturing plan capable of supporting the planned start of production.

Magna Contracts

In June 2021, the Company and Magna entered into a long-term manufacturing agreement (the “Detailed Manufacturing Agreement”) and confirmed that production of the Fisker Ocean SUV is projected to occur in Europe. The Detailed Manufacturing Agreement specifies planned volumes, manufacturing costs and quality metrics over the Ocean program’s lifecycle through 2029. It covers all stages, including the critical planning and launch phases. The Company also has contracts with Magna International and its various subsidiaries and affiliates to produce certain components for the Ocean.

14. Subsequent Events

The Company has completed an evaluation of all subsequent events through the filing of this report to ensure that these condensed consolidated financial statements include appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements and events which occurred but were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Except as described below, the Company has concluded that no subsequent event has occurred that requires disclosure.

On July 28, 2021, the Company made a $10 million commitment for a private investment in public equity (PIPE) supporting the planned merger of leading European EV charging network, Allego B.V. (“Allego”) with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (NYSE: SPAQ), a publicly-listed special purpose acquisition company. The planned merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021 which will trigger our investment commitment. Fisker is the exclusive electric vehicle automaker in the PIPE and, in parallel, has agreed to terms on a strategic partnership to deliver a range of charging options for its customers in Europe. The Company is evaluating the accounting effects of the investment and partnership.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Fisker is building a technology-enabled, asset-light automotive business model that it believes will be among the first of its kind and aligned with the future state of the automotive industry. This involves a focus on vehicle development, customer experience, sales and service intended to change the personal mobility experience through technological innovation, ease of use and flexibility. The Company combines the legendary design and engineering expertise of Henrik Fisker to develop high quality electric vehicles with strong emotional appeal. Central to Fisker’s business model is the Fisker Flexible Platform Agnostic Design (“FF-PAD”),

a proprietary process that allows the development and design of a vehicle to be adapted to any given electric vehicle (“EV”) platform in the specific segment size. The process focuses on selecting industry leading vehicle specifications and adapting the design to crucial hard points on a third-party supplied EV platform and outsourced manufacturing to reduce development cost and time to market. The first example of this is Fisker’s work to adapt the Fisker Ocean design to a base vehicle platform developed by Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KG, a limited liability partnership established and existing under the laws of Austria (“Magna Steyr”), an affiliate of Magna International, Inc. (“Magna”). This development with Magna Steyr began in September 2020 and passed the first and second engineering gateways in November 2020 and March 2021, respectively. Fisker believes it is well-positioned through its global premium EV brand, its renowned design capabilities, its sustainability focus, and its asset-light and low overhead, direct to consumer business model which enables products like the Fisker Ocean to be priced roughly equivalent to internal combustion engine-powered SUV’s from premium brand competitors.

The Fisker Ocean is targeting a large and rapidly expanding “premium with volume” segment (meaning a premium automaker producing more than 100,000 units of a single model such as the BMW X3 Series or Tesla Model Y) of the electric SUV market. Fisker expects to begin production of the Ocean as early as the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Fisker Ocean, a five-passenger electric SUV, will be differentiated in the marketplace by its innovative, timeless design and true SUV shape (compared to primarily hatchback EV competitors), advanced powertrain technology (estimated range of up to 250 miles for base version and approximately 300 to 350 miles for higher trim levels, final EPA test results to be verified and may vary), state of the art advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) capabilities, a re-imagined customer experience delivered through an advanced software-based user interface, compelling price as compared to EV competitors, sustainability focus beyond simply zero emission driving, and Fisker-unique optional features such as California Mode (patent pending) and a solar photovoltaic roof. The Fisker Ocean is designed for a high degree of sustainability, with an eco-suede interior trim made from recycled polyester, and carpeting from fishing nets and plastic bottles recycled from ocean waste, among many other sustainable

features. Some of these differentiating factors resulted in the Fisker Ocean prototype being the most awarded new automobile at CES 2020 by Time, Newsweek, Business Insider, CNET and others.

Fisker believes its innovative business model, including E-Mobility-as-a-Service (“EMaaS”), will revolutionize how consumers view personal transportation and car ownership. Over time, Fisker plans to combine a customer-focused experience with flexible leasing options, affordable monthly payments and no fixed lease terms, in addition to direct-to-consumer sales. Through an innovative platform sharing partnership strategy, Fisker believes that it will be able to significantly reduce the capital intensity and development time typically associated with developing and manufacturing vehicles, while maintaining flexibility and optionality in component sourcing and manufacturing due to Fisker’s FF-PAD proprietary process. Through Fisker’s FF-PAD proprietary process, Fisker is currently working with Magna Steyr to develop a proprietary electric vehicle platform called FM29 that will underpin Fisker Ocean and at least one additional nameplate. Fisker is currently also working with Foxconn and its subsidiaries to develop an additional proprietary electric vehicle platform called FP28 that will underpin Fisker PEAR. Fisker may cooperate with one or more additional industry-leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), technology companies, and/or tier-one automotive suppliers for platform sharing and access to procurement networks, while focusing on key differentiators in innovative design, software and user interface. Multiple platform-sharing partners is intended to accelerate growth in Fisker’s portfolio of electric vehicle offerings and support a portfolio of four vehicles by 2025. Fisker envisions a go-to-market strategy with both web- and app-based digital sales, loan financing approvals, leasing, and service management, with limited reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar “sales-and-service” dealer networks. Fisker believes that this customer-focused approach will drive revenue, user satisfaction and higher margins than competitors.

The Business Combination

Fisker was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 13, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Spartan”), formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Spartan completed its IPO in August 2018. In October 2020, Spartan’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Fisker Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Fisker Inc.) a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Fisker”), with Legacy Fisker surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spartan (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Spartan changed its name to Fisker Inc.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Spartan was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization, whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets was recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Fisker.

Key Trends, Opportunities and Uncertainties

Fisker is a pre-revenue company and believes that its future performance and success depends to a substantial extent on the ability to capitalize on the following opportunities, which in turn is subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021 titled “Risk Factors.”

Partnering with Industry-Leading OEMs and/or Tier-One Automotive Suppliers

Magna Steyr / FM29 Platform (Fisker Ocean)

On October 14, 2020, Fisker and Spartan entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Magna setting forth certain terms for the development of a full electric vehicle (the “Cooperation Agreement”). That Cooperation Agreement sets out the main terms and conditions of operational phase agreements (the “Operational Phase Agreements”) that were subsequently entered into by and between Fisker and Magna (or its affiliates). On December 17, 2020, Fisker entered into the platform-sharing and initial manufacturing Operational Phase Agreements referenced in the Cooperation Agreement. On June 12, 2021, Fisker entered into the detailed manufacturing agreement referenced in the Cooperation Agreement.

Hon Hai Technology Group / FP28 (Fisker Pear)

On May 13, 2021, the Company announced it signed framework agreements with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) supporting the joint development and manufacturing of project ‘PEAR’ (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution), a project to develop a new breakthrough electric vehicle. Under the agreements, the Company and Foxconn will jointly invest into Project PEAR, with each company taking proceeds from the successful delivery of the program. The Company will work with Foxconn on a new lightweight platform designated ‘FP28’, leveraging technological expertise from each company to support Project PEAR and potential future vehicles. In support of the work on Project PEAR, the two companies have established a co-located program management office between the U.S. and Taiwan to coordinate design, engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing operations. Following an extensive review of manufacturing sites, the two companies will make significant efforts to develop and execute a manufacturing plan capable of supporting the planned start of production.

LOGO

These co-operations allow Fisker to focus on vehicle design, strong brand affiliation and a differentiated customer experience. Fisker intends to leverage multiple EV platforms to accelerate its time to market, rapidly expand its product portfolio, reduce vehicle development costs and gain access to an established global supply chain of batteries and other components.

Fisker believes that its business model will reduce the considerable execution risk typically associated with new car companies. Through such platform sharing, component sourcing and manufacturing partnerships, Fisker believes it will be able to accelerate its time to market and reduce vehicle development costs. Fisker remains on-track for Fisker Ocean start-of-production on November 17, 2022 and intends to meet timing, cost and quality expectations while optimally matching its cost structure with its projected production ramp by leveraging such partnerships and trained

workforces. Remaining hardware agnostic allows for selection of partners, components, and manufacturing decisions to be based on both timeline and cost advantages and enables Fisker to focus on delivering truly innovative design features, a superior customer experience, and a leading user interface that leverages sophisticated software and other technology advancements.

Fisker has entered into agreements covering the Magna base platform, development and engineering services, and manufacturing, among others. Extended negotiation of the specific project-related agreements, the sourcing of components or labor at higher than anticipated cost, or any delays in sourcing suppliers of sustainable parts may delay Fisker’s commercialization plans or require it to change the anticipated pricing of its vehicles. Such delays could be caused by a variety of factors, some of which may be out of Fisker’s control. For example, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted international travel, which may make it more difficult for Fisker to conclude agreements with partners outside the United States. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Fisker—Fisker faces risks related to health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.” Unanticipated events, delays in negotiations by third parties and any required changes in Fisker’s current business plans could materially and adversely affect its business, margins and cash flows.

Market Trends and Competition

Fisker anticipates robust demand for the Fisker Ocean, based on its award-winning design, its unique sustainability features, the management team’s experience and know-how and, in particular, the growing acceptance of and demand for EVs as a substitute for gasoline-fueled vehicles. Many independent forecasts are assuming that EV’s as percentage of global auto sales will grow from less than 3% in 2020 to more than 20% in 2030. One such report from RBC, published in October 2020, assumes sales of EV’s to grow from less than 2.0 million units globally (less than 3% of total volume) to 25 million units in 2030 (approximately 25% of total volume), a 29% CAGR. The EV market is highly competitive, but Fisker believes will remain less competitive than the ICE market for some time. For example, there are 79 nameplates sold in the US market within the compact and midsize SUV category currently while most observers expect no more than 10-20 EV’s in those segments at the time Fisker launches, most of which are expected to be priced well-above Fisker Ocean. Fisker believes the market will be broken down into three primary consumer segments: the white space segment, the value segment, and the conservative premium segment. See “Information About Fisker—Sales – Go to Market Strategy.” Fisker expects to sell approximately 50% of its vehicles within the white space segment, appealing to customers who want to be part of the new EV movement and value sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. This is supported by a survey of Fisker’s current reservation-holders which found that over 50% currently own non-premium branded vehicles and over 50% currently own non-SUV’s (i.e. cars, hatchbacks, minivans, etc.). Fisker believes that it will be well positioned to be the primary alternative to Tesla in this segment with the Ocean priced around the base price of the Model 3 and below the base price of the Model Y. While Fisker will compete with other EV startups, many of them are moving into the higher luxury priced segments due to the lack of volume pricing of components that Fisker expects to obtain through platform sharing partnerships with industry-leading OEMs and/or tier-one automotive suppliers. To expand market share and attract customers from competitors, Fisker must continue to innovate and convert successful research and development efforts into differentiated products, including new EV models.

Fisker is also working to quantify the sustainability advancements and claims that the Fisker brand would produce the most sustainable vehicles in the world, which it believes will be an increasingly important differentiator among a growing subset of consumers. To this end, an internal analysis resulted in an announcement in June 2021 that Fisker aims to produce a 100% climate-neutral vehicle, without the use of purchased carbon offsets, in 2027. In Fisker’s pursuit of these objectives, it will be in competition with substantially larger and better capitalized vehicle manufacturers. While Fisker believes that the low-capital-intensity platform sharing partnership strategy, together with direct-to-customer commercialization, provides the Company with an advantage relative to traditional and other established auto manufacturers, Fisker’s better capitalized competitors may seek to undercut the pricing or compete directly with Fisker’s designs by replicating their features. In addition, while Fisker believes that its strong management team forms the necessary backbone to execute on its strategy, the Company expects to compete for talent, as Fisker’s future growth will depend on hiring qualified and experienced personnel to operate all aspects of the business as it prepares to launch commercial operations.

Commercialization

Fisker currently anticipates commencing production of the Fisker Ocean in the fourth quarter of 2022, with initial customer deliveries in late 2022 at the earliest.

As of August 2, 2021, we are approaching 17,500 retail reservations and 1,400 fleet reservations. This is after accounting for about 1,700 retail customers who have canceled over time. Fisker has obtained over 65,000 indications of interest through the Flexee app (meaning the Flexee App has been downloaded and the potential purchaser has provided a contact phone number) and internet, reflecting the significant public interest in the Fisker Ocean.

Since we first opened our reservation system for the Ocean, we have offered prospective customers the opportunity to make a reservation with the flexibility to cancel at any time. Our retail reservation system is driven through our app and website, with each vehicle reservation requiring a $250 deposit and limited to one reservation per registered cellphone number. In the event that someone wishes to cancel, there is a 10% charge ($25) to cover third party and administrative costs for processing the refunds in a timely and secure manner. The retail reservations and cancellations are enabled by our mobile and web Fisker Flexee app, and our potential customers make their reservation and cancellation directly on these automated platforms. A second type of reservation are those made by corporations and fleet operators. We devote significant time and resources to our fleet customers, ensuring the Ocean is the right choice for their business and completing an MOU. As we make more details of the Ocean available and our brand profile increases, we would expect both retail and fleet reservations to organically increase. Further, as we get closer to launch, we will be working with our prospective customers to transition their reservation into a contracted order. This would include the detailed vehicle specification (model series, color etc.) and delivery date. We will continue to share our reservation and contracted order data transparently through frequent updates to the market.

Fisker plans to initially market its vehicles through its direct-to-consumer sales model, leveraging its proprietary Flexee app, which will serve as a one-stop-shop for all components of its EMaaS business model. Over time, Fisker plans to develop Fisker Experience Centers in select cities in North America and Europe, which will enable prospective customers to experience Fisker vehicles through test drives and virtual and augmented reality. Fisker also intends to enter, in each launch market, into third-party service partnerships with credible vehicle service organizations with established service facilities, operations and technicians. These companies’ services will be integrated into and booked via the Flexee app in order to create a hassle-free, app-based service experience for Fisker’s customers delivered at home, at work, or with a pick-up and delivery service booked online. For North America and United Kingdom, as examples, Fisker has entered into non-exclusive Memorandum of Understandings with divisions of Cox Automotive related to fleet management services. Fisker will continue to seek opportunities to build the service partnership model.

Over time, Fisker aims to transform the EV sales model through the flexible lease model, under which customers will be able to utilize a vehicle on a month-to-month basis at an anticipated cost of $379 per month for the base model, with the ability to terminate the lease or upgrade their vehicle at any time. Development of a fleet of high value, sustainable EVs will allow Fisker to offer these flexible lease options to capture more customers. Fisker intends to require a non-refundable up-front payment of $3,000 under the flexible lease model, which the Company believes will reduce its cash flow risk and incentivize customers to keep their vehicles for a period of time. Fisker anticipates that, over time, it will acquire a substantial fleet of used EVs available for sale or further flexible lease by Fisker, which it believes will enhance its ability to maintain its premium brand and pricing.

Fisker believes its digital, direct-to-consumer sales model reflects today’s changing consumer preferences and is less capital intensive and expensive than the traditional automotive sales models. Fisker’s commercialization strategy is, however, relatively novel for the car industry, which has historically relied on extensive advertising and marketing, as well as relationships with physical car dealership networks. Should Fisker’s assumptions about the

commercialization of its vehicles prove overly optimistic or if the Company is unable to develop, obtain or maintain the direct-to-consumer marketing or service technology upon which its prospective customer base would rely, Fisker may incur delays to its ability to commercialize the Fisker Ocean. This may also lead Fisker to make changes in its commercialization plans, which could result in unanticipated marketing delays or cost overruns, which could in turn adversely impact margins and cash flows or require Fisker to change its pricing. Further, to the extent that Fisker doesn’t generate the margins it expects upon commercialization of the Fisker Ocean, Fisker may be required to raise additional debt or equity capital, which may not be available or may only be available on terms that are onerous to Fisker and its stockholders.

Regulatory Landscape

Fisker operates in an industry that is subject to and benefits from environmental regulations, which have generally become more stringent over time, particularly across developed markets. Regulations in Fisker’s target markets include economic incentives to purchasers of EVs, tax credits for EV manufacturers, and economic penalties that may apply to a car manufacturer based on its fleet-wide emissions ratings. See “Information about Fisker—Government Regulation and Credits.” For example, a federal tax credit of $7,500 may be available to U.S. purchasers of Fisker vehicles, which would bring the effective estimated purchase price of the base Fisker Ocean model to approximately $30,000. On August 5, 2021, President Biden announced an executive order aimed at making half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 electric. Fisker recently issued a call to action to implement a program called “75 And More For 55 And Less”, which would include a point-of-sale rebate (as opposed to the current tax credit) of $7,500 plus $10 for every mile of EPA-certified driving range, for any EV priced at $55,000 and less. Fisker believes this type of program would focus EV purchase support towards consumers that most require an incentive and would also incentivize all OEM’s to focus development efforts on affordable EV’s, as Fisker has done. Further, the registration and sale of Zero Emission Vehicles (“ZEVs”) in California will earn Fisker ZEV credits, which it may be able to sell to other OEMs or tier-one automotive suppliers seeking to access the state’s market. Several other U.S. states have adopted similar standards. In the European Union, where European car manufacturers are penalized for excessive fleet-wide emissions on the one hand and incentivized to produce low emission vehicles on the other, Fisker believes it will have the opportunity to monetize the ZEV technology through fleet emissions pooling arrangements with car manufacturers that may not otherwise meet their CO2 emissions targets. While Fisker expects environmental regulations to provide a tailwind to its growth, it is possible for certain regulations to result in margin pressures. For example, regulations that effectively impose EV production quotas on auto manufacturers may lead to an oversupply of EVs, which in turn could promote price decreases. As a pure play EV company, Fisker’s margins could be particularly and adversely impacted by such regulatory developments. Trade restrictions and tariffs, while historically minimal between the European Union and the United States where most of Fisker’s production and sales are expected, are subject to unknown and unpredictable change that could impact Fisker’s ability to meet projected sales or margins.

Basis of Presentation

Fisker currently conducts its business through one operating segment. As a company with no commercial operations and limited revenues derived from merchandise sales, which in not core to our ongoing business, Fisker’s activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States and its historical results are reported under U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars. Upon commencement of commercial operations, Fisker expects to expand its global operations substantially, including in the USA and the European Union, and as a result Fisker expects its future results to be sensitive to foreign currency transaction and translation risks and other financial risks that are not reflected in its historical financial statements. As a result, Fisker expects that the financial results it reports for periods after it begins commercial operations will not be comparable to the financial results included in this report or Fisker’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021.

Components of Results of Operations

Fisker is an early stage company and its historical results may not be indicative of its future results for reasons that may be difficult to anticipate. Accordingly, the drivers of Fisker’s future financial results, as well as the components of such results, may not be comparable to Fisker’s historical or projected results of operations.

Revenues

Fisker has not begun its primary commercial operations, which will focus on the production and sale of its vehicles. Once Fisker commences production and commercialization of its vehicles, it expects that the significant majority of its revenue will be initially derived from direct sales of Fisker Ocean SUVs and, subsequently, from flexible leases of its vehicles. In 2021, Fisker launched its merchandise “Fisker Edition” where it sells direct to consumers Fisker branded apparel and goods. While merchandise sales are not intended to be significant portion of Fisker’s results once production of vehicles begins, Fisker generated revenue from such sales during 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold

To date, Fisker has not recorded cost of goods sold from its vehicle sales, as it has not recorded commercial revenues from the sales of its vehicles. Once Fisker commences the commercial production and sale of its vehicles, it expects cost of goods sold to include mainly vehicle components and parts, including batteries, direct labor costs, amortized tooling costs and capitalized costs associated with the Magna warrants, and reserves for estimated warranty expenses. Related to the 2021 launch of “Fisker Edition” apparel and goods, Fisker realized cost of goods sold in 2021.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related expenses for Fisker’s executive and other administrative functions and expenses for outside professional services, including legal, accounting and other advisory services.

Fisker is rapidly expanding its personnel headcount, in anticipation of the start of production of its vehicles. Accordingly, Fisker expects its general and administrative expenses to increase significantly in the near term and for the foreseeable future. For example, the company expects general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, in the year ended December 31, 2021 to be in the range of $35-$40 million as compared to $22.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 as we plan for expenses related to the commencement of commercial operations such as facilities, marketing and advertising costs.

Research and Development Expense

To date, Fisker’s research and development expenses have consisted primarily of external engineering services in connection with the design of the Fisker Ocean model and development of the first prototype. As Fisker ramps up for commercial operations, it anticipates that research and development expenses will increase for the foreseeable future as the Company expands its hiring of engineers and designers and continues to invest in new vehicle model design and development of technology. For example, the company expects research and development expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, in the year ended December 31, 2021 to be in the range of $260 - $280 million as compared to $21.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes

Fisker’s income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. Fisker maintains a valuation allowance against the full value of its U.S. and state net deferred tax assets because Fisker believes the recoverability of the tax assets is not more likely than not.

Revenue and cost of goods sold

During the three-months ended June 30, 2021, Fisker launched its merchandise “Fisker Edition” where it sells direct to consumers Fisker branded apparel and goods. Sales of branded apparel and goods totaled $27,000 with related costs of goods sold of $14,000 resulting in a gross margin of $13,000 during the three-month period. Merchandise sales are ancillary revenues that will continue in the future but are not expected to constitute a significant portion of operations once Fisker commences production and commercialization of its vehicles.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.8 million from $1.1 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2020 to $7.9 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased salaried employee headcount, improved benefits in line with our human capital and ESG goals designed to offer potential employees competitive compensation packages, and stock based compensation, which includes restricted stock unit awards granted to employees during the three months ended June 30, 2021 relating to the 2020 performance year. General and administrative expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $444,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Overall, total headcount for the Company increased to 236 employees as of August 2, 2021, compared to 101 employees as of December 31, 2020 and 81 employees as of October 29, 2020, the date of the closing of our reverse merger.

On March 18, 2021, the Board of Directors of Fisker, approved, effective as of March 15, 2021, at the request of Dr. Geeta Gupta, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, an 82% decrease in Dr. Gupta’s annual base salary from $325,000 to $58,240 which is California’s minimum annual wage.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $45.1 million from $0.2 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2020 to $45.3 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2021. The increase primarily relates to an increase in headcount of full-time employees as of June 30, 2021, research and development efforts associated with the Ocean and PEAR vehicle programs, and payments to suppliers indicating progress on serial design and development of unique components. Research and development expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $22,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest Expense

The Company did not have interest expense during the three-months ended June 30, 2021 as it did not have debt during the three-month period then ended. Interest expense was $0.3 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives and Convertible Security

The change in fair value of embedded derivatives amounted to a non-cash gain of $6.8 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a non-cash loss of $0.2 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2020.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss)

Fisker recorded foreign currency gains of $88,000 during the three-months ended June 30, 2021 compared to losses of $59,000 during the three-months ended June 30, 2020 due to weakening Euro currency rates. For the remainder of 2021, Fisker expects its EUR denominated transactions associated with our foreign operations and services provided by suppliers will increase significantly and will subject Fisker to greater fluctuation in realized gain and losses from foreign currencies.

Net Loss

Net loss was $46.2 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $44.4 million from a net loss of $1.8 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2020, for the reasons discussed above.

Comparison of the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2021 to the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2020

The following table sets forth Fisker’s historical operating results for the periods indicated:

Revenue and cost of goods sold

During the six-months ended June 30, 2021, Fisker launched its merchandise “Fisker Edition” where it sells direct to consumers Fisker branded apparel and goods. Sales of branded apparel and goods totaled $49,000 with related costs of goods sold of $31,000 resulting in a gross margin of $18,000 during the six-month period. Merchandise sales are ancillary revenues that will continue in the future but are not expected to constitute a significant portion of operations once Fisker commences production and commercialization of its vehicles.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $12.2 million from $1.5 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 to $13.7 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased salaried employee headcount, improved benefits in line with our human capital and ESG goals designed to offer potential employees competitive compensation packages, and stock based compensation, which includes restricted stock unit awards granted to employees during the three months ended June 30, 2021 relating to the 2020 performance year. General and administrative expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $617,000 and $38,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $72 million from $0.5 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 to $72.5 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021. The increase primarily relates to an increase in headcount of full-time employees as of June 30, 2021, research and development efforts associated with the Ocean and PEAR vehicle programs, and payments to suppliers indicating progress on serial design and development of unique components. Research and development expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and $32,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest Expense

The Company did not have interest expense during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 as it did not have debt during the six-month period then ended. Interest expense was $0.6 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives and Convertible Security

The change in fair value of embedded derivatives amounted to a non-cash loss of $138.4 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.3 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss)

Fisker recorded foreign currency gains of $1.3 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a $37,000 loss during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 due to weakening Euro currency rates which resulted in favorable currency gains upon settlement of our Euro-denominated liabilities in the first quarter of 2021. For the remainder of 2021, Fisker expects its EUR denominated transactions associated with our foreign operations and services provided by suppliers will increase significantly and will subject Fisker to greater fluctuation in realized gain and losses from foreign currencies.

Net Loss

Net loss was $223.1 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $220.1 million from a net loss of $2.9 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020, for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, Fisker has yet to generate any revenue from its core business operations. To date, Fisker has funded its capital expenditures and working capital requirements through equity and convertible notes, as further discussed below. Fisker’s ability to successfully commence it primary commercial operations and expand its business will depend on many factors, including its working capital needs, the availability of equity or debt financing and, over time, its ability to generate cash flows from operations.

As of June 30, 2021, Fisker’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $962 million and no debt outstanding.

Fisker expects its capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase substantially in 2021, as it progresses toward production of the Fisker Ocean EV model, develop its customer support and marketing infrastructure and expand its research and development efforts. Fisker believes that its cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Form 10-Q and sufficient to fund its operations until it commences production of the Fisker Ocean. Fisker may, however, need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including unanticipated delays in negotiations with OEMs and tier-one automotive suppliers or other suppliers, supply chain challenges, disruptions due to COVID-19, competitive pressures, and regulatory developments, among other developments such as the collaboration on “Project PEAR” (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution) with Hon Hai Technology Group announced on February 24, 2021. To the extent that Fisker’s current resources are insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements, Fisker may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than Fisker expects, Fisker may be forced to decrease its level of investment in product development or scale back its operations, which could have an adverse impact on its business and financial prospects.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of Fisker’s cash flow data for the periods indicated:


	Six-Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
	(dollar amounts in thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities		(56,927	)		(1,139	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(65,990	)		—
Net cash provided by financing activities		94,125			2,906

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities

Fisker’s net cash flows used in operating activities to date have been primarily comprised of costs related to research and development, payroll and other general and administrative activities. As Fisker continues to accelerate hiring in line with development and production of the Ocean, Fisker expects its cash used in operating activities to increase significantly before it starts to generate any material cash flows from its business. Operating lease commitments as of June 30, 2021 will result in cash payments of $1.3 million for the remainder of 2021 and $4.6 million for 2022, and $17.6 million for 2023 and thereafter. Fisker’s new headquarters, Inception, located in Manhattan Beach, California, commenced in May 2021 resulting incremental operating lease commitments of $0.9 million for the remainder of 2021, $3.8 million for 2022, and $16 million for 2023 and thereafter. It is expected that Fisker will execute a new lease in Europe and at least one new lease for a U.S.-based experience center. In total, Fisker is projecting to use cash in excess of $260 million for combined SG&A and R&D activities during 2021.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $55.8 million from $1.1 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 to $56.9 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Fisker’s cash flows used in investing activities, historically, have been comprised mainly of purchases of property and equipment. During the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired intangible assets related to development of the Fisker Ocean and production of its parts that totaled $64.3 million and capitalized certain expenditures associated with R&D capital assets that benefit our vehicle program development in future periods. Fisker continues to expect 2021 capital expenditures for manufacturing and development, testing and validation, tooling, manufacturing equipment, software licenses, and IT infrastructure to range between $195 million and $210 million of which we expect at least 50% is denominated in foreign currencies, as serial production tooling and equipment begins to be installed at both vehicle assembly and supplier facilities over the remainder of 2021.

Fisker used cash of $66 million for investing activities during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 compared to no cash expenditures for investing activities during the corresponding six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Through June 30, 2021, Fisker has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, and, to a lesser extent, convertible notes.

Net cash from financing activities was $94.1 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting the proceeds of $89 million from public warrant holders who exercised 7,733,400 warrants to acquire a corresponding equal number of Class A common stock and $5.1 million from option exercises. Net cash from financing activities was $2.9 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 primarily derived from proceeds received for the issuance of bridge notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Fisker is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The accompanying table references non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations. This non-GAAP financial measure differs from the directly comparable GAAP financial measure due to adjustments made to exclude stock-based compensation expense. This non-GAAP financial measure is not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of a non-GAAP measure and its nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, both GAAP financial measures of Fisker’s financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Fisker’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the preparation of these financial statements, Fisker is required to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Fisker considers an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

Fisker is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Fisker expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Fisker’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and Fisker’s assessment, to the extent it has made one, of their potential impact on Fisker’s financial condition and its results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Fisker has not, to date, been exposed to material market risks given its early stage of operations. Upon commencing commercial operations, Fisker expects to be exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risks and potentially other market risks, including those related to interest rates or valuation of financial instruments, among others.

Foreign Currency Risk

Fisker’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, while certain of Fisker’s current and future subsidiaries are expected to have functional currencies in Euro, British pound sterling, and Chinese Yuan Renminbi reflecting their principal operating markets. Once Fisker commences commercial operations, it expects to be exposed to both currency transaction and translation risk. For example, Fisker expects its contracts with OEMs and/or tier-one automotive suppliers to be transacted in Euro or other foreign currencies. In addition, Fisker expects that certain of its subsidiaries will have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, meaning that such subsidiaries’ results of operations will be periodically translated into U.S. dollars in Fisker’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which may result in revenue and earnings volatility from period to period in response to exchange rates fluctuations. To date, Fisker has not had material exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and has not hedged such exposure, although it may do so in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

As of June 30, 2021, we have not experienced any significant impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees who are involved in our financial reporting processes and controls are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 as a result of a control related to the evaluation of accounting for complex transactions with potential derivative accounting implications that did not operate effectively in the instance of evaluating potential tender offer scenarios and valuation models associated with the repricing of warrant instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness resulted in the Restatement of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. We are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity and reputational harm and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth below and other information contained elsewhere in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

We face risks related to health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the recent pandemic of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 has also created a disruption in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world.

The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures may adversely impact our employees and operations and the operations of its customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities. In addition, various aspects of our business cannot be conducted remotely. These measures by government authorities may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect our manufacturing plans, sales and marketing activities, business and results of operations.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, recommending that all non-essential personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in sales activities, meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine is in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. There is no certainty that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will be impacted.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to its business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment, or a decline in consumer confidence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our vehicles. Under difficult economic conditions, potential customers may seek to reduce spending by forgoing our vehicles for other traditional options or may choose to keep their existing vehicles and cancel reservations.

There are no comparable recent events that may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain.

The issuance of shares of our Class A Common Stock upon exercise of our outstanding Magna Warrants would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

As of August 12, 2021, the Magna Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 12,969,986 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were outstanding and exercisable. The exercise price of these warrants are $0.01 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to holders of our Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
